Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 3 - RE: Exploring Joy & Sadness ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4024.jpeg) 13 March 2025 The Year 3 class began their Easter unit this week with an exploration of emotions. The unit focuses on the joy and sadness experienced in the Easter story and by Christians at this holy time, so we started by discussing emotions we experience during special times and in everyday situations. When we shared our personal experiences, we realised that there is often more than one emotion experienced in the majority of situations. The children were very respectful and responded sensitively to each other’s experiences. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4024.jpeg) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Behaviour](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/behaviour) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0529363B-AA09-4FBE-BE66-EE8C865E48DA.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-12-year-6-english) Previous ### [Year 6 English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-12-year-6-english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3430.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-14-year-2-year-of-prayer) Next ### [Year 2 - Year of Prayer ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-14-year-2-year-of-prayer) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
